Trailblazer Family Newsletter

BA Families,

I want to thank you for sharing your child with us this school year. It is the greatest trust allowing us to work with your child and one that is not taken lightly. As a parent myself, I understand the significance of the importance of a high-quality relationship to create the best school experience for your child.

Don't forget to review your child's report card in Skyward when it is posted to Skyward on June 3. The report card will list your child's teacher for the upcoming 24-25 school year. Please follow these steps to access your child's report card in Skyward Family Access on June 3.

Have the best summer and I will be looking forward to kicking off another wonderful school year together in August.

Mr. Horne
